“…Baosteel industry. Their main sources are production and processing, which may be due to the discharge of wastewater or sludge affected by production activities [48]. The study results of Gao et al are similar to the results of the current study, in which the maximum concentration of Cd is distributed near a gold deposit.…”

“…As demonstrated by Liu et al, approximately 90% of six heavy metals (Cd, Cr, As, Pb, Cu, and Zn), especially Cd, As, and Zn, exceed the background values in local study areas [44]. Gao et al indicated that all detected samples with As did not exceed the standard values, whereas 100%, 100%, 100%, 57.14%, 50%, 57.14%, and 42.86% of samples detected with Pb, Zn, Cr, Hg, Cu, Cd, and Ni, respectively, exceeded the standard values in Baosteel of Shanghai [48]. The concentrations of heavy metals in surface soils are mainly due to human impacts.…”

IntroductionRapid urbanization and industrialization provide benefits to the economy and society but also cause pollution of soil, water, and air and even pose risks to ecosystems [1][2][3][4]. Heavy metals refer to metals and metalloids, such as Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Ni, Pb, and Hg, whose densities are > 5 g•cm −3 [5][6]. Heavy metals in soil are difficult to degrade and enter the food chain. Consequently, heavy metal pollution will not only reduce the quality of the soil environment but also pose a threat to human health [7][8][9][10][11][12]. For instance, exposure to As can lead to dermal lesions, skin cancer, peripheral neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease

“…Cd accounted for a large proportion in factor with the percentage of 44.0%, the main sources of Cd pollution were lead-zinc mines, smelting of non-ferrous metals, electroplating and factories that use cadmium compounds as raw materials or catalysts, the same polluted sources as the factor 4 . The high CV value and higher mean concentration compared with the background value, showing the influence of artificial factor (Gao et al, 2018;Peng et al, 2017). According to the foregoing investigation, the textile and dyeing industries attributed high content of Cd from the emission of the sewage of dyeing activities Sun et al, 2019).…”

Soil heavy metal contaminated sites with multiple sources of pollution have caused worldwide public concern. However, the lack of correlation of risk assessment between source identification of heavy metal led to unclear direction of source governance. A methodology was established by combining source apportionment of human health risks with ecological enrichment to characterize source-identified risks of heavy metals based on Ordinary kriging interplotation. Principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) model were used to identify and classify potential sources of heavy metals synthetically. The integrated results were incorporated into the health risk model to evaluate potential non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk of soil heavy metals. A case study was conducted in Suzhou city of China. The results showed that concentrations of Cd and Hg were highly above the background values, accounting for percentages of 239.6% and 415.9% above background values, respectively. The source contributed human health risk index of As contributed 76.9% to non-carcinogenic risk by pollutant sources of agriculture activities. The Non-cancer health risk index for children and adults was 1.08 and 1.00 respectively. The cancer health risk was 3.67E-03 for children and 3.97E-04 for adults. Cr originated from indutriy activities, accounting for 29.5% of total heavy metals, and constituted the largest carcinogenic impact on the population. This study provided a new insight for the treatment of mutil-sources of soil heavy metal pollution and also some reference value for the improvement of the risk assessment system.

“…Many scholars have researched urban soil pollution around the world in the past decades. For example, Gao et al (2018) [6] and He et al (2019) [7] showed that different types of land use have different effects on heavy metal soil concentrations, and [8] and Han et al (2018) [9] found that different pollution sources had different effects in different urban functional areas. Agricultural areas are seriously affected by Cr, Hg, and Pb [10,11]; road traffic areas by Zn, Pb, Cu, and Mn [12]; and industrial areas by Cu, Sb, Cd, and Zn [13].…”

Shanghai is the major city on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, and the administrative regions adjacent to Hangzhou Bay are the Jinshan district, Fengxian district, and Pudong new area (Nanhui district), which are the main intersection areas of manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture in Shanghai. In this paper, we collected a total of 75 topsoil samples from six different functional areas (agricultural areas (19), roadside areas (10), industrial areas (19), residential areas (14), education areas (6), and woodland areas (7)) in these three administrative regions, and the presence of 10 heavy metals (manganese(Mn), zinc(Zn), chromium(Cr), nickel(Ni), lead(Pb), cobalt(Co), cadmium(Cd), mercury(Hg), copper(Cu), and arsenic(As)) was investigated in each sample. The Nemerow pollution index (NPI), pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (PERI) were calculated to assess the soil pollution levels. The hazard quotient (HQ) and carcinogenic risk (CR) assessment models were used to assess the human health risks posed by the concentrations of the heavy metals. The CR and HQ for adults and children in different functional areas descended in the following order: industrial areas > roadside areas > woodland areas > residential areas > education areas > agricultural areas. The HQ of Mn for children in industrial areas was higher than 1, and the risk was within the acceptable range.
